If your viewers are hearing themselves through the screen share!!!
Discord is being sent to "Speaker 1" so it will also come through the OBS if you add Speaker 1 to OBS as a sound source. So you want to get the game audio from a different source input. Basically the Discord OUTPUT card cannot be sent to OBS in anyway with monitoring... Disable the desktop audio or turn OFF monitoring.
Option 1: You can just skip OBS and directly share the gameplay through Discord application share.
Option 2: The easiest way to fix this is to NOT set your desktop audio as a source in OBS.
If you are are using game capture and not a capture card and want to bring in audio to share through OBS to discord, you can use this plugin: github.com/bozbez/win-capture-audio/releases/tag/v2.1.0-beta
This will let you add a single program audio to capture as a sound source.
Dude you're the GOAT
No shit talks like other youtubes, no crappy 3 minutes stupid opening scenes. No endless commercials and sponsors. Just straight to the point. You are the best.
This is literally the ONLY video I could find that worked that didn't require installing voicemeeter and virtual cables and messing up my current audio setup, you're an actual legend. I wish the picture quality was better than the ~480p the preview provides, but hey I don't have Nitro anyways and the framerate isn't bad. Thank you so, so much!
Thank you, glad it's helped!
With nitro I am able to stream 1440p no problem and even 4k, but 4k is rough on the PC and everyone thinks 1440p is great, so I stick with that.
@@infinitequality I meant the output quality of the preview window, it's kind of low resolution. Is there a way to fix that, then? If not it's no big deal, I'm just glad there's sound now.
I did get it working through voicemeeter but I hated how to messed up my setup so I uninstalled them all. Just about gave up before finding this video, spent like 5 hours researching and trying things.
@@VForceWave Fullscreen the preview for full resolution. It will scale up to w.e the monitor is. You can also use a spoofed monitor output or a capture card output if you have one hooked up. The pop-out preview window is very low resolution because it's so small. You can make it bigger, or full-screen, to fix.
Thank you so much. Spent 4 hours trying to figure this out since I wanted to hear the audio through another microphone port but still stream the audio for discord at the same delay as the video. This was the only video I found that fixed this issue thanks really appreciate it.
This is the most straightforward and well explained tutorial I've found for this, helped me finally figure it out without having to use virtual audio cables or anything. Thank you so much!
This video is the simple and elegant way of describing what the issue is and how to address it without other software or hardware! Thanks!
big help, thanks. like actually fr your a life saver, ive been trying to get audio from my xbox to my pc so i can be in a discord call and hear my games for so long without latency or audio issues but all the ways i did it worked but had majot flaws, this is so simple and was right in front of me the whole time tysm, plus i can finally stream my capture on discord without streaming elgate 4k capture like a chump
Thank you for this! Using this to stream my first playthrough of Breath of the Wild to my friends in Discord. Super straightforward and easy for me to follow!
Awesome video! I got a capture device just for streaming console games over Discord, this video was exactly what I needed to know to get OBS setup in just a couple minutes!
Those are some really helpful tips. I was trying to find a way to stream full Desktop Audio to Discord (not just one Application) and this works great. Thanks!
i spent two hours essentially figuring this out myself. shoulda just looked it up on youtube lol, great vid.
thank you so much for this! been having trouble setting up the audio when I'm sharing my OBS screen on discord. this video helped a lot!
Wow. This is the only video that had what I was looking for! Thank you!
Thank you so much! Just figured I'd search the answer to this question and here you were! Great video!
Thanks so much dude you're very helpful and it was straight to the point aswell, you're VERY underrated keep up the good work my guy!
I know i'm late to this but I tried a different way to do this but your way is so much easier, simpler, and this video was super helpful!! Thank you so much for this ❤
Thanks man. Before this, I had to literally use 2 computers and 2 Discord accounts for over 1 and half years in order to stream in the first one and talk in the second one. Now I no longer have to ask for an exception in servers where multiple accounts are not allowed.
EXACTLY what I was looking for!
After hours of messing with different programs and endless forums, your video solved my problem instantly. Thanks so much man, subbed for life.
Glad to have you!
Thank you so much for this! Great tutorial!
I've literally been looking for a way to do this without having to download plugins or any complicated methods. This worked BEAUTIFULY! Thank you so much for this, very detailed and simple way of doing this! You are a life saver!
Glad it helped!
Absolutely GOD TIER guide - thank you!!!!
bro ive been at this for atleast like 2 hours maybe more, u fr saved my life i love u so much thank u man

underrated video, thanks so much for this, learned a lot
thanks man you helped me a lot !
SUPER HELPFUL THANKS!!
omg thanks man this is so useful, i've been going through videos after videos, with virtual camera and voicemeter bananas potatoes. after following your steps, i finally manage to get audio on discord stream
Glad to help. I use discord daily to screen share high quality streams with friends so we can watch shows together and figured others probably want to know how to do this.
@@infinitequality i agree, i also want to stream but just with friends on discord. btw, I've ran into another issue regarding with the audios. Let's say my audio device is Speaker1. I used the device as monitor and output on obs to add audio to my stream at discord. But I just noticed people watching my streams can hear themselves as on discord i also set the output as Speaker1. Do you have any solution for this. I just want to stream with game audio while talking with friends, while hearing both on the same device. Sorry if my english is hard to understand as i dont speak english that much xD

GOATED VIDEO TY SO MUCH
Thx this helped allot
Thanks for the great video! I'm a complete amateur and it helped me.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for this Video. i saw some other Videos on how to do this but it didnt quite work after i tried those ones out but maybe im just dumb xD. So yeah it finally works thank you
My pleasure!
ur a legend bro ty
thank you so much!!!
ive been looking for a way to improve my online classes and this helps so much, has nothing to do with games but aaa thats perfect
:) Glad to be of help!
Thanks, its work
Thanks
You are amazing
Legitimately the goat
thank u
Legend : )
ISTG my dumbass chooses to use the SWITCH on my PC every 6 months or something and I forget how to setup my OBS every time. This video is my holy grail for fixing any issue I have with OBS or my Discord Stream. Please never delete it finding it itself is hard every time anyways. 😭😭😭
Glad I could help ☺️
Excellent fucking guide good sir, thank you very much!
So straightforward, great tutorial! Thanks!
So even though I get the capture card and share the screen/applications, I should buy Nitro for the better quality?
감사해요! I think nitro is worth getting if you plan on streaming often. I stream at 1440p and everyone loves the quality.
@@infinitequality Wow, didn't expect to see thanks in my language! Thanks for your tips :)
YOU SAVED MY LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
My man.
Your trick worked super well in Windows 10, I have been using it for 3 weeks to my friends, but I upgraded to Windows 11 and the image freezes if it is not on the main monitor or in front
Wow! Thank you for reporting this issue. I am very hesitant to recommend "upgrading" to windows 11. To me right now it's more of a "side-grade" and with bugs like this it would be a major "down-grade" for me to switch. I use this trick every night to stream stuff in discord with my friends.
This works! But is there a way to make the stream actuall full screen? cause my friends said it has a border, tho it is in full screen plus my obs and drivers are updated
Are you using the full screen protector option or the window projector?
If you're seeing borders in discord this can be a weird bug where you need to restart discord and obs for the window to be captured properly.
This helped so I can hear the game! Thank you! Now my problem is that the audio lags. Any suggestions to fix this?
Which audio specifically is lagging? If it's a constant lag, you can try the audio offset setting in OBS advanced audio settings.
Gotta ask, does this work with Stream Labs OBS as well? For obvious reasons a lot of the settings over lap and I pretty much did the same thing, but I couldn't get it too work and I just wanna know if there some weird disconnect between discord and specifically stream labs.
As far as I know it does not.
@@infinitequality Thank you so much for this reply! After setting it up on Streamlabs OBS I got so frustrated that I needed to check the comments to see if anyone else asked. After downloading plain OBS I got it working so fast! Thank you so much
Is it possible to do the opposite? Get video from multiple screen sharings on discord, and make them be streamed via obs on whatever setup you want?
Yes but with some limitations.
You can only fullscreen a single stream on discord at a time. But you can show multiple streams at the same time no problem. This is how we run the IQ podcast. We all screenshare our camera in OBS using this video's method, then I capture the discord video sharing of all our cameras to broadcast and record the podcast.
You can popout the screenshare and fullscreen it. Then you can capture this window in discord.
Hi. This looks good. 1 question. How good is the audio quality for the discord viewers? My experiences last years what ever I tried to make this work the audio was very bad.. Crackling and you would think the audio was from the microphone instead of virtual cable.
I use this method to watch movies and shows with friends and they all say it sounds perfect. So it should work well.
Just a heads up, I have a very cheap capture card (it's a chinese knock off of a mirabox) and while the captured video quality is acceptable, the audio is really low quality at best, and when capturing/passthru at highest resolution it stutters a lot. I have worked around this by getting the audio from my display's AUX out (rather than the capture card) and plugging into the line-in on my PC. Then disable or mute all the audio in the capture card, but add the line-in as an audio input in OBS. In my case, I had to adjust for sync because the audio was a few millisecs ahead of the video when merged together in OBS.
Does your Monitor have to have speakers to have Audio in Discord or to be able to hear anything at all?
The monitor has to be able to receive an audio signal for this process to work. Which means Windows has to see it as an optional sound card. Usually this means the monitor has some sort of audio output, 9x out of 10 this will be a headphone jack, but sometimes it can also be speakers.
So the answer is "no" it doesn't need to specifically have speakers, but it does need to accept some sort of audio signal. If you can send audio to a monitor through the windows setting, this trick will work.
Any solution for the audio gradually drifting out of sync after a few minutes on the monitoring end? My buddies can hear the game nice and clear, but after just a couple of minutes, the audio gets so out of sync with the video that it's unwatchable.
Try a different monitoring output soundcard. There may be some kind of software lag or conflict.
You can also try running OBS and discord as admin.
Trying to do something similar to stream audio and video from a computer desktop to discord but for some reason just can't figure it out.
What have you tried?
Does this work if you stream from a console but use a capture card and do this to have your discord audio to play through the capture card? I’m broke for a pc rn but everyone I know uses a pc but I’m on console and I stream. Let me know!
I'm not 100% sure what you are asking here.
This only works when using OBS on a computer. Anything you can feed into OBS will work in the discord screenshare, including audio with this method.
This will not work when streaming from a console as it requires OBS and it's intended use is to stream content to Discord using a computer.
I hope something I said was a response to your question. Feel free to restate the question if I didn't understand properly.
i figured out my audio was muted because in windows input my hd60x was disabled
it says "start streaming" and i know ur making discord stream it inside discord, btu where are u sending OBS stream to when u hit that up? ;o
That will stream to any platform you connect OBS to in the settings.
okai tysm!!!!@@infinitequality
is there a way to mute discord call while streaming with obs to discord? everything works fine but the viewer can hear themselves from the stream
Please see the pinned comment!
is there a delay on the audio with this method for me i dont want hear audio delayed if i want to stream on discord
This depends on your equipment and computer.
This method should be primarily used for sharing and streaming, in which case there won't be a delay to the viewers, but I would use it to play as there will be input lag, a type of delay, though everything will be in sync if you set it up properly.
You should continue to play the way you normally would, and just use this to stream, and that will not be out of sync.
is hearing a roughly 50ms delay to game audio normal? i would assume so given im hearing the audio through id assume obs but i just wanna check
Hmm. Well when I use my capture card I get no audio delay, but I guess this could depend a lot on your card and PC.
You don't need to listen to the audio from the capture card exclusively, you can just monitor the audio to a soundcard that you can't hear, like the digital optical out. This will still broadcast the audio to discord and you can listen to the audio from your other options. For instance I use this truck to stream Netflix to discord though my capture card, but watch on my TV and sound system as normal.
@@infinitequality i have a pretty decent pc so if you mean spec wise i dont think that should be an issue, also i do have a way to connect a cable to the wireless adapater for my headset to the switch directly which allows me to have no audio latency but when I do that obs doesnt pick up any audio
I can help you with this but I think I would need to see your setup through a screenshare and talk you through it. You can join my personal discord here: discord.thesunnymachine.com/ and we can try to find time. I don't think it would take more than 15 mins.
For whatever reason sharing fullscreen preview doesn't work for me (there's no sound, and no fullscreen either), but streaming obs added "as a game" works almost perfectly. Sound is there ok, but the stream itself is not fullscreen as the viewer sees it, dunno. Anywasy THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!
Are you using OBS studio?
@@infinitequality I use OBS Studio 27
Try updating your graphics driver and using OBS 29
@@infinitequality not sure if I want to update obs right now, but I'll keep that in mind, thanks
haha, I'd been messing around with this for an hour and a half before I realized I was using Streamlabs, not OBS Studio... This definitely works with OBS Studio, but NOT Streamlabs.
Another reason to ditch streamlabs OBS
Please can explain how can i do, ebcause my ,, vievers'' can hear them self on stream on discord. how can i fix it ?
The answer is in my pinned comment for this video. :)
Золотой ты мой, спасибо.
I'm using a laptop, I did as in the video but it still doesn't work, my stream still can't record sound
Try using any other output for monitoring in OBS. Then retoggle the monitoring off and back on for that OBS source. Restart OBS and make sure monitoring is working listening for it on the device if possible, start the stream to discord after you confirm that the audio is being played through the output device.
Happy holidays. This trick works but sometimes you just have to toggle things around / on and off to get it working. Restarting the computer also helps.
I got a simple question but NOONE CAN ANSWER: How to share my gameplay on discord togethet with music playing on CZcams?
If you follow this video exactly you can share anything from obs to discord. Including CZcams, camera, alerts, gameplay. Anything you can add to OBS will work if you follow the steps in the video.
I did everything and it won't work, I had it working a while ago but now it stopped. None of my settings changed so is this something they updated?
I'm still able to use this method. I've used it every night for years now. I watch shows from my Xbox series x through this trick and share it on discord. What exactly isn't working?
You need to be more specific. Because the screenshare works fine, the audio works fine, everything works for us, so what part isn't not working?
@@infinitequality Well the sound doesn't come in through discord at all
If you join the IQ discord I can help you and we can double check your settings.
I'm having an issue where anytime I try to screen share obs' window on discord, the screen shows white
This might be a graphics card driver issue.
First check and make sure your gpu driver is up to date.
If that doesn't work, try disabling hardware acceleration in discord.
Let me know if that helps
doesnt work. when I stream the fullscreen or windows projector. it shows discord instead of the Obs.
there's a few things that can make this happen..
Check these first
1. Try enable/disable hardware acceleration in Discord.
2. Try restarting running both OBS and discord as Admin.
Take care when selecting the fullscreen projector. Discord might show multiple windows in the "application" sharing window. Look for the one that says Fullscreen Projector and has the correct image.
Actually it didn't work for me, at 0:48 I did select "Monitor and Output" for desktop audio, but for some reason the behavior stayed the same.
When some audio plays I can see the volume bar moving up so at first sight it looks fine, however when people watch my discord stream they can't hear any audio, it doesn't matter if I'm streaming the OBS window itself or a projector.
Ok, I just fixed my problem.
Looks like my OBS default audio option was behaving badly and getting some stupid thing as audio source, I fixed it by going to Settings > Audio > Advanced > Monitoring Device, then I selected an option that correctly associated to my headset and it's all good now lol
The audio output and monitoring in OBS can be a bit finicky.
Changing the default card output before you enable monitoring can force it to work.
Monitoring sometimes doesn't enable without changing the card like you did, and then immediately changing the monitoring options. Even needing to turn monitoring off then back on after a change in card in some cases.
Does this method let me stream a different hdmi?
Anything you can get working in OBS will show.
I'm still having some trouble getting the audio to come through, I'm Following the guide lines and while the visual can be seen of the game I can't get any audio going to it. I would have people say they can see and not hear but I can't figure out why.
Are you on windows 10?
So you have hardware encoding turned on in discord?
Do you have the audio source set to monitor ?
Try toggling monitor off then back on in the advanced audio settings.
@@infinitequality I am on Windows 10, I'm not entirely sure about the hardware encoding part. If thats the case what would I need to do for it?
I did do the toggling and it wasn't working.
Would there be a difference between Discord the app and discord on a tab?
Are you using the app or in browsers. I have only made this work using the app, and haven't tested the browser version
@@infinitequality App Version
Can you hear the audio on the selected monitoring device?
the video is frozen on the stream no matter what i do though, how do i fix that
Try running everything as admin.
It's not working for me right now. I'm getting the audio, but my discord is not.
Are you using Windows 10 or 11?
I haven't tested this with Windows 11 yet.
Make sure your discord is set to the new audio capture format in voice and video settings.
There are grey bars on the side of my screen, any fixes?
When this happens OBS and Discord are confused about the 2 programs. Restart OBS and hit CNTL R in discord to restart it.
It should application share the FullScreen Preview properly after you restart both programs.
@@infinitequality it fixed, thanks man
Still didn't work for me. I followed every single step and with Discord I still cannot hear anything
Choose the correct monitoring device in settings. set the source monitoring in advanced audio properties to monitor and output.
It will work if you get the settings correct.
whenever i start streaming the projector view and go to my desktop discord pauses my stream for some reason some way to fix it
This is a behavior of Discord when the window you are sharing get's minimized. The best way to fix this is to send the OBS preview to a second monitor or a "fake monitor". Do not hit Wnkey+D and minimize everything as discord will pause the stream. If you keep the OBS preview up on another monitor this won't happen.
@@infinitequality so does this also happen when another window is on top of the preview window. i have tried many thing. and it always pauses the stream even when i am on the "preview" window unminimised. it only shares my screen when the discord screen is active anything else and it pauses. even when i dont minimise the preview window.
@@abhijeetas7886 This is not normal behavior. A few things to try and let me know about..
What version of windows are you on 10 or 11?
Is your GPU driver up to date?
Are you running OBS as Admin, or Discord as Admin?
Things to try...
Run OBS NOT as admin and Discord NOT as admin, Try running BOTH as ADMIN if that doesn't work.
Turn off Hardware Acceleration in Discord Settings > Advanced.
Let me know!
@@infinitequality
windows 10 laptop,
GPU drivers are up to date.
tried running OBS and discord both with and without admin,
disabled hardware acceleration and still same problem,
i tried sharing the
"capture window" opion in obs and "capture display" option both are not working, steam pauses as soon as i leave the discord window.
should i try reinstalling discord and OBS ?
can someone tell me why discord stream has lower fps than obs preview?
This could be a lot of things...
I would try disabling hardware encoding in Discord first. See if that helps... also using Discord Nitro is the only way to do 1080p 60 in most servers. If you are using "source" without nitro the FPS will be like 15.
@@infinitequality for some reason it just lags a lot for no reason
@@infinitequality I have nitro but it still lags for some reason, even the elgato 4k capture software lags
@@infinitequality but only lags on stream
What operating system are you on?
What are your PC specs?
Are you using OBS studio?
How to share multiple screens wiith audio?
You just add them and lay them out in OBS so all can be seen.
@@infinitequality IT WORKED!!!! Thank so much, I've been trying this for YEARS!!!
didnt work, only firefox get sound & games, but google chrome or obs with your tutorial didnt work unlucky
It does work for so many others though.
So something in your setup is wrong. Make sure you are using the normal discord Windows app, that OBS is up to date, and that your graphics drivers are up to date.
Projector gives no audio it seems!
The projector isn't the aspect that provides the audio. It's the monitoring setup inside OBS, (not stream labs). You must have audio meters working in obs and the monitoring working as I describe in the video. The projector only provides the video feed.
i tried this but still nobody can hear the audio not even me
Something is wrong with your monitoring settings. Choose your soundcard manually in OBS and set the source to monitor and output.
@@infinitequality i already did that but doesn't matter anymore it started working for some reason
@@sifnix024 Sometimes restarting OBS and Discord will fix weird issues.
@@sifnix024 there is nothing wrong with your settings, this guy pretends like this is a one solution for everyone and it does not work on all capture cards.
The problem is that the FPS are not smooth
This can be caused by a variety of settings or issues.
Make sure gpu scheduling is turned on in Windows.
Make sure you have discord and OBS set to 60fps.
Discord nitro helps as well
I tried, it did not work
Are you using OBS studio?
Are you using the discord application?
Are you on windows 10?
This video just doesn't work. No sound coming thru to discord.
I actually use this every night and it still works just fine for me and my friends.
Something in your setup must be different or you missed a setting in OBS... OR you need to restart OBS and Discord after getting everything setup correctly.
If you carefully follow along with my instructions in this video, you are on windows 10, and you are using the Discord windows Application, it will work.
first
LUL
somehow doesnt work :c
What doesn't work? I use this method every night with friends... If you are having trouble getting screenshare to work with discord you may have to update graphics drivers, reset discord settings, or you didn't follow may have skipped an important step in my video.
